American Top Team fighter Steve Montgomery (4-2) knew this was going to be his moment. A life-changing visit to train with the famed Diaz brothers had given him a new outlook on his MMA career, and this was his time to shine. Then came something he never anticipated. “I had this caged-animal-type posture because I had so much aggression that I was ready to let out,” Montgomery told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I was ready to find out who I was fighting, and I was really excited. For them to call me out against my teammate, my posture just dropped.” Montgomery was one of 32 welterweights picked to compete on the debut season of Bellator MMA’s “Fight Master.” With a $100,000 grand prize and a spot in a future Bellator tournament on the line, Montgomery had put in several months of dedicated training toward prepping himself for the opportunity. Together with fellow ATT fighter Cristiano Souza , the pair pushed each other in training and plotted their path to the top. The path didn’t exactly follow their plan.
